Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

The NBI witness’s “cyber expert” certification came from company whose main business is real estate and trading. It’s like getting a law degree from a bakery. Lols. #SaraImpeachment

“Maybe for someone like Iga who has won so many slams … or maybe someone like Serena or Venus this achievement may seem small, but for someone who grew up in the Philippines. … for her this is everything.” Alexandra Eala after her win ❤️

Twisted facts. The motion on the floor was about whether the Marcoleta rule change should be taken up directly in plenary and bypass the committee hearing process. That procedural motion—not the substance of the proposed rule change itself—was what was being put to a vote when they walked out. The actual deliberations on the merits and substance of the Marcoleta proposal were supposed to happen only after the procedural issue has been resolved.
READ: The 11-member Senate minority bloc accuses the majority of rushing the amendment of Senate rules to allow senators to participate in sessions remotely, prompting them to walk out of today’s session. “Minamadali ba ang rule change na ito dahil gusto nilang maka boto si Senator Bato? At ngayong may mga ulat na may mga majority senators na maaaring arestuhin,” the minority said in a joint statement | @eimorpsantos 📷: Senate minority

Congratulations to my kababayan, Francis Tolentino, for having been appointed as acting Secretary of the Department of Labor and Employment. Mapalad ka at lahat ng mga balimbing, unqualified at isinusuka ng taong-bayan ang ina-appoint ni Marcos, Jr. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

No wonder this man has never been seriously considered for Senate Presidency. Kudos to Speaker Pro Tempore Loren Legarda for standing her ground and restoring order in the plenary.
’IS THIS RULE FOR SENATOR BATO WHO IS NOT HERE?’ WATCH: Tense exchanges in the Senate as minority senators oppose what they describe as the “railroading” of a proposed amendment to Senate rules that would “allow a senator, for justifiable reasons, to attend and participate in sessions through teleconference, video conference, or other reliable electronic means” — a motion introduced by Senator Rodante Marcoleta | @eimorpsantos

I dissent.
'ICC HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER DELA ROSA'S CASE' Supreme Court Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando said the International Criminal Court (ICC) has no jurisdiction over Senator Bato dela Rosa’s case, citing the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019. In his dissenting opinion, Hernando argued that the ICC investigation and arrest warrant against Dela Rosa came after the country’s withdrawal from the tribunal had already taken effect. He also maintained that there is no Philippine judicial process authorizing the senator’s surrender to the ICC.

Trapos who were given decades to make a difference—but failed miserably—cannot shamelessly appoint themselves as the arbiter of the “right side of history”. History has already voted for their utter irrelevance. No amount of PR grandstanding can erase a legacy of mediocrity, incompetence and utter inutility.
